Spirit Guidance: The Alchemy Of Authentic Storytelling

In this transmission and spirit guidance session, energy healer Marie Blythe unpacks a major revelation from her Spirit guide team on how we receive wisdom in our evolving collective consciousness. We dive into storytelling as alchemy, exploring how fully integrated narratives release frequency templates that allow others to heal in divine timing. We examine the shift to heart-centered knowing, why true wisdom must touch the heart to be internalized, and Marie shares a personal story on healing the imprint of rejection for sharing her personal intuitive experiences at a young age. Ultimately, this talk invites you to create your own authentic container by shedding cultural expectations, honoring your unique path, and feeling safe enough to embody your authentic self.

Welcome to a story within a story. Why is the storytelling so important? Why do I keep getting this guidance? There are many other ways to share things. And what has come to me is this reminder of my work around ancestral healing and ancestral storytelling. Some of the most powerful healing that I've gotten and received is from the stories of my lineage. And I have a Celtic background. My ancestors were all from Celtic lands, Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales. And so I have really thick ancestral ties to those cultures, That region. In many different ways, Many of which I've explored for myself and maybe I'll explore here as well at some point. But storytelling and hearing the stories of my ancestors hits home in a different way than hearing the stories from a culture that is not my own. And when I've asked about this in the past and I've tuned into this, What I've been told is that Indigenous cultures and the ancestral cultures that we have around the world that are not our modern cultures, Used storytelling as a means for healing. And what has been really interesting about our modern Western culture is that we are taught to stay silent. We're told to keep our pain, Our wounds, Our trauma to ourselves, That it's not safe to share those things, That we won't be received in a balanced way or will be criticized or not believed. There's so much around storytelling that's so out of balance in our Western culture. But the Indigenous cultures of the world, No matter where they are, All use storytelling to transmit codes of healing and to alchemize and transmute collective trauma. So when we share a story, We're sharing the frequencies of that experience, Not just the literal actions or experiences that happened, But the frequencies that led to that experience or led to whatever that was for a group or for an individual. And when we share that story, We're actually allowing others to learn from it and to connect with it and connect with the frequency of that story within themselves. Because we'll never really hear a story or come across a story or resonate with a story. And want to listen to it or feel like it means something to us if we don't already have those frequencies within us in our own way. And when someone shares a story or when we have these cultural stories passed down that we hear and we hear the solution to the problem or we hear what happened and how the people dealt with that or even if it comes through as, You know, A fairy tale or a myth something like that, These stories contain codes and frequencies of healing and transmutation of the limitations and imbalances and trauma that came through different experiences. So by sharing a story verbally, We're sharing not only our connection to others who may be holding similar frequencies within them through their own experience or through their own ancestral experience through their lineage, But we're also sharing the templates and the codes of whatever we've transformed within ourself related to that frequency of the story with others. So it's through sharing of the story that we can heal and actually share the codes of wisdom. And even if it isn't fully integrated and understood on a cognitive level, The storytelling actually allows for us to bring in these templates of healing, Understanding, And transmutation that can then unfold and be activated in divine timing for the individuals that have heard that story. And that process is guided by spirit and by the higher self. So what's been so powerful for me over this last week or two is that my guides have been coming and sharing that by sharing your story, You're sharing your authentic self and the frequencies of your experience and how you have lived your way through that experience, What you learned from it. And you're sending that story and the alchemy within it as a packet of information, Of code, Of templates to those who feel resonant to listening to that. It's not telling anyone what to do. It's not telling anyone what their truth needs to be. It's just sharing your own truth. And this has been a really big opening experience for me to understand this and to reconsider the way that I approach what I offer through the lens of storytelling. And the more my guides kind of hammer this into me, The more true it feels to me, The more authentic it feels to me, Because what could be more authentic than your own story? And that's how we best connect with other people. And it's been really interesting because lately I've run across other people and how they share their work. And the things that resonate with me the most and I feel the most heart opening with are the people who share their personal stories. And I've heard a few of these lately that have really made me open my heart to those people more for sharing their story, Have helped me feel more connected to them and what they're sharing and what their gifts and wisdom are because I can see where it's coming from and how it it relates to me through their story. And then I've also seen things out there where people are just sharing information. This is the information I'm getting. This is what's coming to me or this is what I've learned. Or, You know, I read this book and here's what the information is. And it's like the more I move through life, My brain is less and less capable of processing that type of information. I just can't. Cognitively process data anymore, But I can process a story. And I think it hits a different place in our body and in our brain. So I was asking about this. Why is this? Why am I finding myself much less able to internalize information and that I kind of just drift off and like I just really can't internalize it? And other times when someone's telling a story or they're relating to me on that level, I really can connect and feel that and receive that information or healing or whatever it is. And my guides were saying that we're actually reaching a place where In the collective, We're receiving templates that are altering the way our mind and our mental body and our consciousness is able to receive information based on the choice of timelines that we're choosing. So if we're choosing consciousness growth, Spiritual growth, Awakening, You know, Self-exploration, Spiritual growth, All of these things, Then the way that we are more and more going to be able to receive that wisdom or receive information from outside of us is if it touches a place within our heart. The wisdom has to be received through the heart more and more and this will continue to be the case because the heart is the place where we access our own inner truth and if something isn't coming from that place then it kind of is just going to more and more just bounce off of the mental body and and it won't be able to be internalized as much, Especially as our mental body or our egoic or lower mind becomes of service to the higher mind rather than the lower mind leading everything. And this is a side effect of that process that's happening for many of us, To where our mind can no longer process data and information in the way that it could in the past, And the information that it does process has to come through the heart now. And so my guides were sharing with me that the way to get to the heart, The way to reach someone's heart, Open it and allow them to access their own inner truth is through storytelling because it is a different part of the brain that receives a story than the part of the brain that receives data and information. And I just found this absolutely fascinating because it has answered such a deep question that I've been journeying through for years now. How do I share what I know and what I do and what my purpose is and what my gifts are in a way that's authentic, That comes from a place of love and integrity and honors the free will and personal empowerment of other people? And I never would have guessed that the answer is storytelling. Telling your authentic story and coming from that place and that level of freedom frequency to offer something from my experience that can be then integrated by whoever feels resonant with listening in a way that feels true to them, That opens up something in their own heart that's coming from their truth. What's also really interesting to me is that, You know, We have these like really culturally conditioned formulas for how to present our work, Especially on the internet, Like the way that things should be in order to find people and get your work out there and all of these different things. And the more that I try to do those things, The less I'm able to do them. I'm just not wired that way. I'm not wired to fit a certain schedule and do things a certain way and force myself to create things in a certain way that fits societal norms or fits the algorithm or whatever. I need to be able to create it in a way that feels right to me and that honors my time and honors how I feel most comfortable and aligned in doing things. And that's something I've been exploring a lot lately as well. And that's a struggle that I think a lot of us are having is how do we be authentic within the container that is offered to us that society tells us or gives us for sharing who we are and what we are and what we're here to do. And in some cases, The answer is you don't. You have to create your own container or your own way and trust that spirit has your back, Which is really hard to do. And this is why I think so many of us have experienced so much confusion around what is my purpose? How do I express it? How do I share it with the world. And a lot of it is because as lightworkers and especially as frequency leaders, We are here to create a new way. We're here to create a new way and a new format of doing things authentically and with integrity and with love. And many times. We can't do that fully through the systems and structures that we have today. But those are quickly breaking down. And so I think it's really important more and more to follow our own inner guidance about what's right for us. How do we do things in a way that is aligned for us. And first, We have to know what is aligned for us. And that takes a lot of inner work. It's taken me years to get to this understanding of you have to tell your story. And the thing around this is that I've heard so many people tell these like beautiful little succinct stories of how they had their spiritual awakening or how they activated their psychic gifts and things like that, You know, As a podcast intro or when they're being introduced in an interview or something like that. It's often this thing of like, Well, I had a near-death experience and when I came back, My gifts were awakened. Or I had this illness I went through and when I came out the other side, My gifts were awakened and I had this very spiritual experience. Or it's always through this very succinct, Easy-to-digest little story. And the thing that I've struggled with is that my life is not like that. No matter how much I try to whittle my life story down, Down into a soundbite, It's just not possible because my story is not succinct like that. My life has had so many twists and turns and, You know, Unexpected bends. And I can't tell you exactly when my intuition awakened because in many ways it was awakened my whole life. And I just didn't know that that's what it was. It was more of a understanding that that's what it was that I came to. And if you were to ask me when my spiritual awakening was, I would have to ask you how you define that, Because I've had many different layers of awakening through many different types of experiences. And so I've struggled with that of how to share different stories and experiences from my life in a soundbite, Because that's not what my life is. And I can't change my life experience to fit into the cultural expectation and understanding or, You know, The social media expectation and understanding of how a person's story should be and that it needs to be sensationalized in some way or that it needs to look a certain way or take no more than five minutes to tell, Right? So this is something that I asked my guides about and I was like, Well, You're wanting me to tell my story. What story? There's so much to my story. There's so many experiences that I've had and they were saying well, What do you want? Just one podcast episode share all of it and share whatever you feel called intuitively to share because what your heart is telling you or what story comes to mind is the story that's right for that moment and There's a teaching in it for whoever might find it. So this has been a really interesting part of my journey is coming to this understanding and integrating this idea of storytelling as a way to lead in sharing yourself and sharing your authentic self. But there's another piece to this. And I have asked, As I'm having this conversation with my guides, Why now? How come you didn't tell me this like two years ago or six months ago or two weeks ago? And they said, Because you weren't ready, You needed to not be attached to the story, The outcome of the story, Who the story would be received by and how they would receive it. And what they showed me was that the vast majority of my healing process and this inner alchemy process that I've been going through in my own own life has been to alchemize the imbalances I've held within myself related to all of my life experiences or my story. And when we complete alchemizing, An aspect of our story. The story becomes its own thing. It becomes its own separate frequency. And then we're almost breathing life into that with the codes that came through that story for us and our healing process of that or the learning that came through that story. But the alchemy for the individual sharing the story. Must be complete first so that the story can be shared with neutrality and not coming from a place of wanting to be received in a certain way. Or have a certain reaction to the story by others and that kind of thing. The story is its own being, It's its own creation, Separate from the storyteller. And the storyteller is a transmitter or is a vessel to transmit the frequencies of the story and its resolution. So again, I found this mind-blowing and it also hearkened back to what I shared earlier about storytelling in ancestral traditions. Indigenous cultures and why that's so powerful and why I have found such healing in hearing some of the stories of my ancestors and the folklore and even historical information and things like that. That I wouldn't find from a different culture quite as much. And it's because those stories heal something in my bones, Because I'm carrying that in my DNA. But the same is true outside of culture, Outside of ancestral tradition. If we share our story with each other and how we've processed certain things or what we've learned through those things, We're code sharing. And we allow the story to be what it is without attachment once we've completed our own inner alchemy journey with that story. So the story has to live within us first and be held within us and become what it's meant to be and become balanced within us first before we're ready to let it be something out in the world. And that's why I haven't been ready till now because I needed all of my stories to be coming from a place of neutrality and sharing it as it's own living, Breathing thing. That's offering wisdom and healing separate from me, And to allow them to be received in a way that's not influenced by my own self-judgments, My own expectations or hopes or intentions or anything else. And I think we all have this. We all have things that we need to work through in order to feel safe in sharing our story, Or safe to share our experiences, Whether that be in the moment that we're experiencing it or later on down the road. And one of the things that comes to mind for me was something that happened for me in 2001. I had this experience and this was before I really understood my intuition. I just had intuitive experiences and a different way of moving through the world that I wouldn't have labeled as intuitive because it felt natural to me. It felt normal and I didn't really understand that other people weren't having the same experience. In 2001 my grandfather passed away and I was at a family dinner after the funeral and we were at this restaurant and I could feel him there with us after the funeral. I knew that he was with us at the table and it was a place that we had gone with him many different times and I was there with extended family. And I just had this very, What I thought was a normal experience of him being present with us, Even though he had passed. I could smell his cologne. I could just feel him being there. I could hear his responses to what people were saying and thinking. And it was really interesting because this restaurant always brought out at the beginning, You know, Before people ordered a basket of bread. And the two types of bread that they offered were rye bread and sourdough bread. And my grandfather hated both of those types of bread. He did not like rye bread and he did not like sourdough bread. And when the waitress brought the bread out, I started laughing because I heard him say, I'll take neither of those, Thank you. And everyone at the table looked at me as if I was just this horrible person because I'm laughing at this meal. After a funeral. I'm supposed to be somber and I'm supposed to be, You know, Crying or sad or, You know, Not speaking at all or whatever. But my experience was completely different than everyone else's. I'm having this experience of my grandfather being there. And being in a lighthearted space, Being in a better space than he'd been for a long time because he died from cancer, And having a joke about the bread. And that is what felt true to me at the time, But then the response of everyone else did not match up with my experience. And when they asked me why I was laughing, I said, Oh, Granddad's here and he was laughing about the bread. And the shift in energy when I said that, Like everyone went ice cold and they looked at me like I was insane, Like I had 10 heads. And I could feel that because I am empathic. I could feel my grandfather standing next to me and I could also feel the response that everyone in my family had to me. When I shared my lived experience in that moment. And while I had had a lot of other intuitive experiences in my life, It often went ignored or I just didn't share it because it wasn't contextual or it wasn't relevant. At this point, I was a freshman in college, So I was an adult at the time, And I internalized this experience really deeply. And I learned in that moment do not share your lived experiences when other people can't see or experience the things that you're experiencing. And by the way, They can't. They can't see and experience that. It's just you. So that was really profound. And I think back on that and I realize how that shaped a really big polarity in me. This was like a fracturing moment for me within myself where I had some aspects of me that were enthralled and in such a beautiful place around the death process and experience of my grandfather, I was having this personal journey of witnessing somebody pass on, Cross over, And then still be present with me and be able to feel them and hear them as if they were right there with me, While also simultaneously having this experience of being condemned ostracized and punished, Essentially, For having this really beautiful experience, This spiritual, Intuitive, Mystical experience. And I guarantee that I am not the only one who has had a moment like this in their life. And for me, What it's taken is alchemizing that experience and many other experiences that I've had in this life and in other lifetimes that split apart my lived reality and my spiritual reality and that have kept those two things separate. And what has come through for me is that in order to merge those things again, In order to reintegrate my spiritual reality into my physical reality is first of all, I've had to do a ton of healing on myself, But also I have to share the story. I have to make that spiritual reality my lived reality and share that truth and trust that the right people will hear it this time and that the people that will hear it are the ones who are also having those experiences and want to also feel heard and that they're safe to be having those experiences and that they're not the only one and that there's a way to heal it. So my intention through sharing this story is to share the codes with you of feeling safe in sharing your story as well. To help transmit whatever codes I have that you can integrate and to help empower you more and more through your own journey as storytelling and however that looks for you and however that unfolds for you. So thank you for hearing my story within a story and thank you for receiving that into your heart. And I hope that whatever codes that I've transmitted here through this story have helped you feel more empowered and have more insight into how you can embody yourself in a more authentic way. Sometimes we separate ourselves and put the different aspects of our authentic self into different baskets and we think it's safe to show up in this certain way or it's safe to have this certain experience in a certain context. But it's not safe to bring that lived experience or what our true authentic experience is into our lived experience or into certain environments and things like that. And while that can can be true and has been true. Maybe it's time for us to create our own environment and our own container to hold our authentic self. Maybe it's not about fitting our authentic self into the world in the way that it is now or the expectations of society or our connections or family or friends or social media or whatever it is. Maybe our job is to create a container first, To hold our authentic self. Where that authentic self is always safe, Where it's always safe to express itself in its experience and be received with love and on a heart level. That's a really powerful understanding. And I think we're at a place in the collective where we can do that now. And I think this is very recent. I don't think it's just about me. I think that we're all coming to this place to where we're going to be more and more able to reach people on a heart level to bring through our authentic self. First create the container for that. And only you can create the container that can hold your authentic self. And you have to know what your authentic self needs, What they are, How they like to express, And what they like to experience in life before you can build that container, Before you can know what needs to hold that authentic self. So I hope that resonates with you and that you maybe are experiencing some of this yourself, Of creating that container to hold yourself, To hold that authenticity. As always, Thank you so much for being here and for listening to what I share. I'm so grateful for you and I'm so grateful for the ways that my sharing has perhaps helped someone else. Thanks so much for being here and I will see you next time.
